  2. The details of the shadows on the hands are great. The contrast of the white on the black paper is cool. Looks like you had a fantastic drawing teacher.

    This is his website. The links for his artwork are on the left side and under paintings, one of my all time favs is The Satyrs. (notice how the one in the center beckoning to you looks like him lol!)I have known him for 6 years now and had 3 years under him with almost all the art classes he has listed except for 161 and 169. Enjoy!
